The Price Is The Biggest Obstacle Which Restricts The Aerogel Market

ZHENGZHOU, China - Aug. 7, 2017 - PRLog -- With the development of the times, the requirements of building insulation material is more and more high. It needs low proportion,fireproofing and low thermal conductivity. Aerogel blanket is superior than existing insulation material and has excellent thermal conductivity. Aerogel blanket is thinner and the same mass can cover more area. In addition, aerogel compound product has excellent performance on sound insulation, fireproofing and damp proofing.

A number of specialists said that price is the biggest obstacle which restricts the aerogel market. In the field of building insulation, the existing insulation materials are about 60 yuan per square meter. But the aerogel is 200 yuan per square meter in three years ago, but now the price has dropped 100 yuan. However, the current price also has a big gap to market acceptance, it will be more close in the future.

Because of the different components, aerogel mainly has silica aerogel, alumina aerogel, zirconia aerogel and carbon airgel. At present, silica aerogel is the most mature, and widely used in market. Most of the domestic and international aerogel development is around the application of silica aerogel.

Carbon Aerogel (http://www.aerogelinsulationblanket.com/) is mature at present, and domestic carbon aerogel is used as anode material for lithium batteries. But the cost of carbon aerogel is high. Experts suggest we should simplify the product process of carbon airgel and reduce it cost.


Once the cost of airgel New Thermal Insulating Material (http://www.aerogelinsulationblanket.com/silica-aerogel-in...) can be reduced, the market price will decline, the market will has a sharp expansion. For example, silica airgel will revolutionize the traditional insulation.
